Contact Conference


The 27th annual Contact conference began on March 30th, 2012, at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, CA. The remaining two days were held on April 1st - 2nd at the nearby Domain Hotel.
(Contact 28 will be held on a biennial schedule, thus in 2014, probably in northern California.)

Here is the official Contact web site:

With help from Bruce Damer, Jean Moss and others, I'm compiling a semiofficial Contact Archive. We hope to assemble photos and material from every one of the conferences. To avoid copyright issues I'm posting images and public documents (such as conference programs), and linking to individual papers and similar material where available. Photos and mementos are welcome!
